The Liquid Soap Challenge

Finding a liquid soap recipe that I adore has been challenging to say the least but I think I finally created something I really like. One of the greatest benefits to Hot Processed liquid soap it is very universal. You can use it in the Kitchen for pots and pans, in the bathroom as a hand soap, in the shower for bathing soap yup you can use it pretty much anywhere.
This morning I created my first recipe for my face wash. My face is acne prone so this should be fun, ok not fun is the right word but since I love experiments seeing results should be fun. I will taking pictures before, 1 week into, and 1 month into the experiment. Not looking forward to my face being plastered all over my blog but I figure I might as well record my thoughts, and observations. To Be Continued...

Body Butter as a Facial Moisturizer

Running out of things can be a good thing at times. For me at least it forces me to be creative in finding new uses for products. Recently I ran out of my face care products so I decided to use the soap I make and follow up with my body butter. I tend to have acne prone skin due to PCOS I have dealt with it pretty much all my life. As much as I would love to say the soap and butter cleared my face up completely it didn't happen BUT I did find that it worked just as well as the products I was spending $$$ on and the body butter not only works as a great moisturizer it also doubles as a wonderful primer for mineral make-up. I am satisfied with my findings and my wallet will thank me.

Candle Making....

I have decided to try my hand at making some wax tarts for my Scentsy warmers. I wasn't sure how to go about it but the internet provides all kinds of information on the subject to which I am excited about. However there is always one drawback with internet information and that is there is SO SO SO much information. So I decided to try my hand at it and we will see how it goes so stayed tuned...

It has been about a month...

Things have been super busy and I have missed making soap very much. Now that the Holidays are almost over and schedules are getting some what back to normal I think I can once again start experimenting.

The Pink Soap Shea Butter Supreme turned out splendidly. I think it is one of my favorite recipes so far not to mention it turned out very pretty and smells just like a spring garden full of flowers.

I hope to experiment with making Colored Lip Gloss and some new scents this month. I also will be experimenting with facial products and trying to develop a three step system for acne prone skin like mine. I have been trying for a while but it has not come together yet I hope this month to have a little more time to work on it.

And for those patiently waiting I hope to have the liquid soap soon :D

Experiment not so good

So my experiment with soapnuts and old soap to try to create liquid soap didn't turn out well, it turned into a rubbery goo. So on to something else.

I did however have time to experiment with colors over the past few weeks and these beauties are drying right now.

Liquid Soap Experiment

So I have had these soapnuts in my soap closet for a while. I tried them for laundry soap but found I didn't like them so I decided to see how they would work turning them into liquid a long with a messed up batch of cold processed soap. I am still waiting for the results as I allowed it to cook some this morning. I will take some pics and post them so you can see the before and after experiment.
